So, this coming Friday there's a Climate Strike-related event at the local high school, and a few of us have been invited to show off our EVs.
Thought I might spice things up with this contraption attached to a bike rack, but I have difficulty keeping a straight face ... can you imagine driving down the road with this thing and the variety of interpretations that might generate? :shock: :evil: :ugeek: :lol:
Hmmm, maybe put together a working demonstration with hardware and draw a block diagram showing -
Windgen --> regulator --> stand-alone 12v battery --> 120vac inverter --> L1 EVSE --> J1772 --> charging the i-MiEV
Now that I think about it, maybe I should also throw in a solar panel or two on the roof...
Work in progress, suggestions welcome.
Edit: Please don't take this seriously - humor intended!
